                                               ♥ Hair of the day 

For me This Has to be the hair of the day.Its nice and simple not to complicated.
Here are the Steps:
1.Brush your hair to remove any tangles or snags. For a clean, smooth bow you’ll want to make sure your hair is ready for styling; this mean, no knots or tangles.

2.Work with dry hair that has been recently washed. While it may be tempting to try this style with wet hair (since wet hair can be easier to work with), only dry hair will produce the signature bow. Your hair must be able to fluff out nicely when teased; wet hair does not fluff well.

3.Make sure you have everything you need close at hand. Running around with a half-formed bow looking for hairspray will guarantee that you will need to make your bow again. Have hairspray, hair gel, and bobby pins at the ready.

Now we can Actually start those were just some tips!

1. Pull your hair back into a ponytail. Instead of pulling the ponytail all the way through, create a loop using about half to three quarters of the hair in the ponytail, leaving a long loose end.

2.  Tuck the loose end into the elastic to keep the loop in place. This loose end becomes the centerpiece of the bow. You should be left with what resembles a loose bun with the hair ends securely fastened underneath the hair tie.
  • Make sure the loop isn't too loose or the sides will be too long and uncontrolled.


3.Consider placing a dab of hair gel in your hands and rubbing them together before forming the bow. Gel can help with sculpting and shaping the bow. Be careful to only use a very small amount (a dime-sized dab of gel) so that you don’t overwhelm your hair, thus creating a droopy bow.

4.Divide the looped hair. Section off your hair into two evenly distributed sections. Work on one side at a time. These will form the sides of the bow. Use a mirror to guide the division and to help you keep it even.



5.Clip one loop off to the side. Use your finger to straighten out the other loop and push it flat against your head. Insert a bobby pin going from top to bottom at the base of the loop (under the hair so it is not showing). Place another bobby pin going from bottom to top. Do the same with the other loop.[2]

6. Create the middle piece of the bow. Take the loose strand of hair in front of the bow and pull it back over and through the middle of your bow sections. Make sure you get all of the loose strands.


7. Tuck the strands of hair securely into the hair tie. You may need to use a little hairspray to keep the hair in place but try to stuff as much of the top strand into the hair tie as possible.

8.Secure the strand with bobby pins. Push at least three or four pins into the strand and into the hair tie to connect the entire piece. Make sure that the bobby pins are not too visible.


9.Fluff out the bow. Use a teasing comb or your fingers to fluff the hair. If your hair doesn’t hold the bow shape on its own, hold one section out and spray with extra-hold hairspray. Do the same with the other section.

Tips:
  • Practice makes perfect, so you may need to try this style again and again until you get it done right.
  • Work in front of a mirror so you can see your hair.
  • Use a ponytail holder that matches your hair color. It will blend with your hair and look better.
  • Use a bobby pin that matches your hair color.
  • Make one bow on both sides of your head for a cute look.
  • Add a pretty headband for an accent to the bow.
  • Make sure all of the ends of the bow are tucked in.
  • Don't put it too low at the base of your head or it looks strange.
  • Instead of pulling a smooth strand of hair back over the sections, braid the strands to create a braided bow middle.
  • Try to get the bow as high as you can.
